💜FALINE'S POV:
Leo and his brothers all sat down in the pipes of their lair, away from each other, keeping to themselves. Leo was flipping through a book, Donnie was working on an invention, Mikey was playing his drum set, Raph was beating his punching bag, and Rocco was sipping a glass of lemonade.
I approached Leo and stopped a few feet away. He looked at me for a minute, but he continued what he was doing.
"Leo," I said softly.
"What?" he answered grumpily.
"I'm sorry about what happened back on the plane." I went over and sat down beside him. "Donnie had no right to talk that way to you."
He glanced over at me, his blue eyes showing sadness. "Did you really mean what you said? To Donnie?"
I guess he overheard my ranting toward his brothers. "Of course I did. You're their leader. But most importantly, their brother." I rested a hand on his arm. "Family or not, you deserve to be treated with respect and kindness."
Leo was silent for a moment before he admitted. "I know what happened with you and Rocco."
"You do?" I asked, surprised.
"I overheard the two of you talking in your room that day. It made me think of how you felt, never knowing about having a sibling until meeting them after so many years."
"And I thought of how you feel, siblings never listening to you."
Suddenly, everything began to shake, dust and dirt started to fall from the ceilings. All of us gathered in the centre, wondering about what was happening. Leo gave Donnie a look as he approached without saying a word.
"What's happening out there, Donnie?" Leo wondered quietly.
Donnie checked his monitors and gasped at what he saw. "Oh my gosh. Shredder did it. The portal's opening."
The dark could suddenly burst away, and a large piece of the blue sky opened up with a bright blue glow. Just like the other portal. Large metal pieces began flying out of the portal and piecing themselves together.
"Amazing. This alien warship is coming piece by piece." Donnie examined the flying metal pieces from his computer. "Hacking into the main data core. Okay. Ship's designate is the Technodrone. Commanding Officer goes by the name of Krang."
"I don't know that guy, but I hate that guy!" Mikey stated.
"If Krang were to finish building this thing, it wouldn't just be a ship. It would be a war machine that would end all life here," Donnie pointed out as his explanation ended.
Rocco started freaking out. "The end of the world?! Earth is gonna get destroyed by an alien?! And Daisy! She'll be in-"
Raph bonked him on the head.
"Oww!"
"Would you get a hold of yourself?!" Raph complained while Rocco rubbed his head.
"Donnie, continue, please," I said calmly.
Donnie breathed out. "Well, there is something we can do. The atmosphere around the Technodrone would be toxic to anyone with a standard cardiovascular system..."
"What are you saying?" Leo asked softly, with his arms crossed over his chest.
"We may be the only ones who can survive around that portal, and we're the only ones who can get close enough to this Technodrone to shut it down," Donnie finished explaining.
"But how? We're being hunted. They think we're monsters," Mikey pointed out.
"Yeah, we're gonna need the cops at our backs. They're trying to lock us up too," Raph agreed.
